Sausage Dip

Well folks, this is the final stop on the dip parade leading up to the Super Bowl. One last snack idea for you before you hit the grocery store and start executing your game day menu! This is also the final dip I have to share from the dip party that my best friend threw in December. I definitely think that we should be making that some type of seasonal occurrence. It was way too much fun and the dips too good to only do it once! This is another delicious, easy recipe (only three ingredients!) that you can add to your spread. I don’t think anyone can have too many easy, delicious recipes to turn to for various occasions 🙂

Although the recipe states to microwave this after combining the ingredients, I think you could also heat it on the stovetop, or even covered in the oven. Whichever is easiest for you!

I love all of the chunks of sausage in this recipe, and the bite from the picante sauce. You can control how spicy you’d like your dip to be by buying mild, medium or hot picante sauce – whatever your personal preference is! I would caution to not stray from the “regular” sausage flavor – I’m not sure this would taste as good with a maple flavor!

Ahhh, all of the dips you’ve posted look absolutely wonderful! I can’t decide which one to make!

And I am rooting for the Steelers, all the way! I’m not a huge football fan, but I’m pretty sure my dad has shirts that he wears to work, and Steelers shirts. He’s obsessed. He’s actually going to the Super Bowl this year. So I’m rooting for Steelers by default 😛

Looks like one to try for sure. I am making grilled jalapenos stuFfed with shrimp & cheese, bloomin onion (Outback style) and potato skins with cheese and bacon. I will have to diet for a week after all this GO STEELERS!!!

This was such a perfect inspiration! I changed it up just a little bit–I decided to make it in the crockpot and used precooked turkey sausage with reduced fat cream cheese. Could not have been easier, and I have a good feeling about it!

I cut this recipe in half and it still made a lot of dip (filled up a 9-inch pie plate). I made it with one roll of turkey sausage, 6 .oz fat free cream cheese (I borrowed 2 .oz of cream cheese for another recipe), 1 jar of medium spice salsa and stirred in some shredded low fat Mexican mix cheese at the end. This dip was a huge hit at my Going for Seven Super Bowl Party. GO STEELERS!!!!! It still tastes very decadent even with the low fat options.

I am required to bring a sausage dip I make to every party I attend – ok maybe not ‘required’ but it certainly feels that way. I like the looks of this though because it looks even more sausage-y then my own and who wouldn’t love that!!
